Dabney Coleman, who seemingly appeared in every notable early 80's movie as well a number of TV shows, passed away yesterday at 92.

Cinemascore:

IF: A
Back to Black: B+
The Strangers: Chapter 1: C

Disney in shambles.

During her lifetime, Americans only knew Amy for two things: being the singer of Rehab and her constant legal issues. You never heard her songs on the radio and she was always overshadowed by the latest American acts (remember, this is when Katy Perry was essentially guaranteed a #1 song every time ...

Hit Man 3/10 Glen Powell stars in, co-writes, and produces a movie that tells us how great Glen Powell is. Everyone's new rich Texan "it" darling plays a guy named Gary (surprisingly not followed with Stu) who when he's not a dead ringer for Jeffrey Dahmer and being a popular scholar, plays a fake h...

The reported production budget is $300 million. How does a movie about Formula 1 cost this much to produce? Gran Turismo was a $60 million production and that was from a major studio rather than a middling streaming service.

You could have easily made this one for $100 million.

I don't expect Sony to go after Kosinski's newest, as it basically reads like Gran Turismo without the video game elements.

American critics are trashing Back to Black, with only semi-noted contrarian Mick LaSalle and a few "we like everything" critics giving it a positive review. It's seems like it's been a while since a biopic got hated by critics but then I remember Bob Marley: One Love was only three months ago.

Woody Harrelson must really want that Oscar.

I'd be surprised if any major distributor is willing to meet Coppola's P&A demands of $80-100 million. A merely average sci-fi film with actors who are box office poison (Driver, Plaza, LaBeouf) won't sell outside of filmbros and with a lot of the on-set rumors about Coppola in addition to Coppola's...

Anyone remember when Mike Flanagan was going to do this one but it became a streaming series instead after he left the project?

But oversaturation is also a thing. Look at all those no-budget shark and Amityville movies on Tubi. If you fill a genre or medium with an overabundance of sub-standard content, audiences will revolt. We've seen it with other genres (we don't see comedies anymore outside of the streaming offerings t...

You can put Five Nights at Freddy's 2 at any date and it would make money. The Black Phone 2 is going to have a more limited audience, as well as a very likely R rating, and would make more sense to play on Halloween being dropping hard in its second weekend. And Spectre, there's a such thing as ove...

I still don't get that M3gan 2.0 title. Shouldn't it be called Meg4n?

After what happened with Bupkis, I don't think Pete and Universal are working together any time soon.

And yes, The Exorcism is the Russell Crowe movie.
